    That’s Capo.

    I was expecting to learn about David Bowie.

    the Golden Years lecture seems shorter than Paris Hilton’s hemline.

    No?

    Would you like the full version?

    @Michael(mikeybrass)-345: You sure? More than Dresden… Or Hamburg… ?

    We all know the Land of Hope and Glory revisionist view of WW2 but somewhere in between is the real truth…

    Also many Stukas on the Eastern Front chap.

    Weird to see Boucher and Steyn in blue.

    This Cobra team is on paper probably the strongest SA provincial/regional team since readmission to international cricket.

    @Transformation(Transformation)-361:

    They were good indeed.

    If one compares:

    Boucher, Kallis and Peterson cancel each other out.

    Smith, Dale Steyn, Duminy, Ontong, Philander, Langeveldt, etc might just be a tiny bit better than the names you mentioned imo. I do not think Herschel is even playing today.

    The combination of Kallis and Steyn in one team at this level is quite frightening.

    Dolphins might still beat them though- anything is possible in this game.

    @Michael(mikeybrass)-369: Yes, they did get awarded a George Cross and Malta was bombed… I don’t need to google that – I know it already. But so were other countries and cities bombed even more heavily than Malta… I suggest that you may need to Google that – a naive acceptance of the “victor’s” version of history may blind someone to the real facts…. Just suggesting…

    @Big Hit(Big Hit)-383: No you don’t really understand do you… If the Germans weren’t fighting on the Eastern Front not many Allied bombers would have even got close to France, never mind Germany… No Operation Barbarossa, no Western front…

    Churchill did enough madness one his lonesome… Ordered the bombing of Dresden, with no military targets, just to try and impress Stalin in negotiations in 1945…. 700 000 phosphorus bombs dropped on a city of 1.2 mill people… There is no agreement on how many actually died because people actually melted from the flames – but the conservative estimate was 250 000 people dying in 14hrs of bombing – more than Nagasaki and Hiroshima combined.

    This War Crime inspired Slaughterhouse 5 by Vonnegut who as POW at the time was part of the clean up after the fact…

    @Heavens Game(Heavens Game)-386: A great irony of Dresden is that in the Nuremburg trials, photos of melted civilian victims of the Allied carpet bombing were used as evidence of Nazi atrocities against concentration camp inmates…. Oops.

    @Heavens Game(Heavens Game)-373: HG, Malta got bombed more heavily per *square km* than any other place. That is an indisputable fact. Hence why I mention googling because that would have confirmed it for you instead of questioning what is unquestionable.
    6700 tons of bombs were dropped on the place in just a couple of weeks, never mind the rest of the extremely intensive bombing campaign.

  • 390.Heavens Game: Reply to this comment
    30 Nov 2011, 18:15 pm

    @Michael(mikeybrass)-389: Chap, in one German city alone, 700 000 bombs were dropped in less than 24hours… 1 bomb for every 2 inhabitants…

    I don’t question that Malta was bombed heavily, however I do question that it was the heaviest bombed… The fact that it was awarded a George Cross does not blind me to this.

  • 391.Michael: Reply to this comment
    30 Nov 2011, 18:17 pm

    @Heavens Game(Heavens Game)-390: Please read the full sentences, HG. Most heavily bombed *per square mile*.

  • 392.Michael: Reply to this comment
    30 Nov 2011, 18:22 pm

    @Heavens Game(Heavens Game)-390: You’re talking about Dresden. That number of bombs equated to 3300 tons. My contrast, 6728 tons was dropped on Malta alone in April 1942.

  • 393.Michael: Reply to this comment
    30 Nov 2011, 18:23 pm

    @Heavens Game(Heavens Game)-390: So again, please please research when questioning what is an indisputable historical fact.

    30 Nov 2011, 18:30 pm

    @Michael(mikeybrass)-391: Yes, even most heavily bombed “per square mile”… I still doubt Malta was most heavily bombed by whatever metric you want to add afterwards… whether by tonnes of metal, by density or by number of bombs, simply put, there are other places without a George Cross and not part of British territory that were more heavily bombed per whatever you want…

    Another place that was fubar’ed was Koblenz… 23000 dwellings… 22000 destroyed. Bombs are still regularly found there today.

    Nope… You can kid yourself as much as you want, you can’t kid me with any propaganda.

    @Michael(mikeybrass)-392: You must be reading a Mickey Mouse history book…

    In one raid on Dresden alone, 1,478 tons of high explosive and 1,182 tons of incendiary bombs were dropped… There were 7 further raids…

    Fark me, I hope you aren’t a Historian or researcher… Mickey wouldn’t be proud.

    @Heavens Game(Heavens Game)-394: HG, with all due respect, you can doubt however much you want but it doesn’t change historical fact.

    @Heavens Game(Heavens Game)-395: 4 raids between the 13 and 15 Feb 1945. Total 3900 tons (not 3300 I wrote earlier).

    BA in History, BA in Archaeology, BA (Honours) in Archaeology, MA in Archaeology, current Ph.D. candidate in Archaeology, written an unpublished book on WW2, etc etc. Degrees don’t matter in this. What matters is that you are arguing against historical fact, without doing your comparative research. I’m obviously not getting through to you so I’ll drop this from my side and go back to teasing you about your Sharkies’ Turnstil centers :-)

    Well done to Keo.co.za

    Now Mr Keohane, please become the man you were before JW roped you in and made you his puppet.

    Also, don’t allow yourself to be used by any of the contenders for the Bok coaching job so that you don’t have any expectations to be part of the management team as media spokesperson. That way you can stay objective in your criticism when he ***** up while you can also give credit when/where it’s due.

    Oh yes, what about an article thanking the bloggers for the award because I can’t believe you received it for your rugby stories in 2011. :lol:

    And please no Mickey Mouse history books, backed up by any number of Donald Duck Degrees…
